Prince Andrew is reportedly facing a daunting $190,000 bill to maintain his Royal Lodge estate, as his financial struggles continue after being cut off by King Charles. With 21 acres of gardens now in a "shocking state," Andrew has attempted yard work himself, but professional help is deemed necessary to restore order. A property expert suggests that maintenance typically requires a team of gardeners, and costs could exceed $190,000 annually for proper upkeep. Andrew has lived in the estate since 2004, currently with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
"Without regular attention, overgrowth can quickly spiral out of control, requiring professional intervention to restore order," Terry Fisher told the outlet.
"Maintaining 21 acres of gardens at a property like Royal Lodge would typically require a dedicated team of four to six gardeners, depending on the complexity of the landscaping."
"Costs can vary, but hiring experienced gardeners could range from $37,000 to $50,000 annually per gardener, meaning the total annual maintenance bill could easily exceed $190,000."
Despite the disgraced royal's best efforts at developing a green thumb, the 30-room mansion is reportedly surrounded by shrubbery and woodland.
